What are US GPS and cell phone / UK satnav and mobile in other dialects?
How does one translate these two terms into Ozzie, Kiwi, South African, and Jamaican English, etc.
Yes, but I am concerned with how the general (and generally poorly informed technically) public refers to these two types of gadget. My experience is that Americans almost always talk of a GPS, Brits of a sat-nav.

Not sure about Ozzie, Kiwi or Jamaican English, but South African probably calls it what it's called in Britain(sat-nav)

It is only the software and firmware that has the language programmed into them for specific markets. The GPS satellites just send streams of digits out to say where it is in the sky and the GPS receiver (sat nav) de codes them.
